Ross Limestone has run some decent races in bumpers and will get plenty of help from the saddle as will Anshan Dreams, a very close third behind Sublime Talent at Limerick in April. Street Legal doesn't win often and probably prefers slightly further but these races are usually run at a furious pace and Noel Meade's charge can come with a late burst and go close. Quench The Flame should get competitive as he ran well behind Rock Critic at Galway last week and the latter won again on Monday to give the form a boost. However, he's had 17 starts and is still eligible for this which tempers enthusiasm. TIJUANA DANCER landed a maiden hurdle in taking fashion when last seen in April and looks just the type that Tony Martin does so well with. This shouldn't take too much winning and he gets the vote to gain his first success on the flat.
